I’d be fine with it if the refs didn’t continuously miss completely obvious calls right in front of their faces.

They should be discussing getting rid of the coaches/admin cap to improve the game. Not this **** stuff they're talking about at the Winter meetings, What Johnson is doing reminds me of James Kirk trying to teach the Iotians a game of Fizzbin which he made up on the fly. If the CFL fucks around with the playoffs they're crazy. the playoffs work just fine. The only change I'd make is the crossover team. If a crossover team has a better record than the third place team in the other conference then it gets to host a playoff game instead of the third place team in the other conference. That's it. Nothing else.

At the time they went purely to tsn cbc was getting out of pro sports and Roger's was going all in on the nhl so they went with bell. Welcome to the Canadian oligopoly

yeah, didn't see much from Logan last year that showed that he was still a CFL returner ... if Vaval is off chasing the NFL, would rather roll a rookie or a FA signing there.

100%. Lots of talk about how apparently people arent watching because of odd little rules here and there...no talk (outside of 1 announcement near the GC) of focusing on grassroots building. Im sure the Bombers and Riders heavy involvement in amateur football has little to nothing to do with their ticket sales. Of course winning helps as well, but kids I coach arent Bomber fans because they love the rules of the CFL. For the record, we're about to enter our 2nd season of NFL flag football. Bombers sponsor 3 of 4 seasons. NFL does the other. Not a peep from the CFL.

Did the same logic apply when Sam Hurl was starting at MLB back in the day? Oshea using his roster in a suboptimal way is not a new phenomenon.... but I feel like we go around and around and around about this all the time.

I understand that but no network is going to shell out millions of dollars without market data backing it up. Netflix and Prime are global platforms. They're going to look at adding things that will make money across the world.. not just in Canada. I agree that the talking points are dull... But outside of Canada / USA who cares about the CFL.

Big assumption that they haven't tried. BIG

The CFL isn't big enough to go on either Netflix or prime. I love the CFL.. but outside of Canada it's just not a draw.

Exactly think big, uncover every rock you can find to get our league to a better spot, it feels like it's dying. Stop wasting time on high browing our rules and taking the easiest path to the real work that needs to happen.

Bryant did show signs of aging last year, although he still played very well. The Bombers would be remiss not to have a backup plan in place should his play drop off a cliff, as it does with so many players around his age, but if he can come back and play as well as last year LT will not be an issue.

Bryant was never a problem last season & I believe that he graded out as our best OL as well. The problem was our Center Koala. He's gone now to Hamilton & they're welcome to him.

Those big contracts to Rourke & extending Keon Hatcher gonna cause some good playerrs not to be renewed.

We should be looking at big streaming services to see if we could make a deal to go on Amazon Prime or Netflix. You just don't know until you try. maybe also trying to get the games televised in Europe. I mean, if TSN televises German soccer (Bundeslegia) why can't the CFL have a tv deal overseas? It's all about reaching out & if there's interest to negotiate a deal. Imagine the CFL being paid in Euros???

4 down and a lot to go to get back into the discussion. As a life long Jet fan I’m not in the mood to be teased here so complete the full job. I do thank you for stomping on the Wild, very much appreciated. Hartman sucks ass.

Yea totally spending time dissecting and discussing our rules, spending time talking about refs and what they rely on is really really helping improve and market our CFL product, increase viewership, increase merchandise sales, attract more sponsors with deep pockets, put more bums in the seats, help eliminate salary constraints to attract high level talent etc etc.

I’d agree with Bryant Jefferson and even Kyrie Wilson but Neufeld is a Canadian oline. I think he can play center and guard and prob tackle in a pinch. Thats an ideal 6th OL. Canadian oline don’t grow on trees, Neufeld is a good one and if being honest, looked better than big Stan last season. Koala takes the heat but he wasn’t the only oline who struggled last year. Big Stan had his struggles also as did Wallace and koala. Neufeld and Randolph were pretty solid tho.

6 1 after 2. 55 with 4 points. Scheifele deserves to be on team Canada.

now this feels like the team we had last year

What kind of salary did Bryant pull? That's the type of guy (along with Neufeld & Jefferson) that you go younger and cheaper. Have to sign at a reduced salary.

glass, rock, soo many dbs as well. lots of guys come to mind. very likely. i’d be happy to get him on a fair deal. Two guys like him who can rotate would be great.

bc cut hendrix he’d be a great get at a reasonable deal

8 more hours to wait for this to hit Netflix.

Thomas couldn' play anymore. It was obvious to everyone but Osh. Bryant could still play. Big difference.

I think he learned that lesson hard last yr I'm really curious as to what our draft strategy is this yr...

Eli has 5 or 6 years and has never established himself. I'd lean towards him not being good enough.

Him as our starting LB legit interfered with the joy in my life for years. It was like a dark cloud hanging over me.

Because O'Shea

Sam Hurl.

I did so only after the OP told me I didn't know anything about football but I get your point that others may not realize this was directed to him and take offense and that was not my intention. Next time I will directly tell him I think he is an idiot and leave it out of subsequent posts on the matter. Also the use of the word stupid you quoted was a direct answer to SF27 who asked me if I thought discussion was stupid.

At what point did i say that discussion is stupid? People have their opinions, and we discuss them. I thought that the idea of moving Stan inside as a plan was not very intelligent and discussed my reasons why. Is that Ok with you or are we only to nod and agree with things we don't agree with. I gave my reasons respectfully and the OP decided to get butt hurt and make rude commentary. That's not on me. I explained many times that my issue isn't with Stan playing inside per se, but with it being the plan which I think would be a very shortsighted one that would carry more risk than reward. IF we go through FA, draft, and recruiting and roll snake eyes on anything better than that plan, fine, we do what we gotta do. I would think that to be a pretty big fail by KW and staff tho. We need to do better than moving Stan inside out of convenience. He is unlikely to be any better at age 40 and changing positions than a younger, cheaper OL we can get in FA or recruitment at a lower cost and with far more long term upside. Stan is going down the wrong side of the hill to reinvest in him at a new position and I know that hurts some sensibilities around here but it's just fact. Our very best play as an organization is to find our next generation of OL, let Stan compete for his usual job, and let the chips fall where they may as to whether he still has a year or two in him. If he is still deemed to be our best LT so be it. If not, we need to move on not reposition him. KW needs to have stud OGs and C in camp already. All that has been discussed around here for almost 3 years is how we are holding onto aging players for too long out of loyalty. I am suggesting that doing so with Stan would just be continuing the stupidity and everyone who vehemently argued that MOS and KW are too loyal suddenly get in an uproar. I am legitimately confused by this inconsistency. The guy is 40, its not the time for him to reinvent his career.
